"Hua Da, have you looked for it in the village? What about flower vines and flower roots? ”

"Madam, I've found them all. Hua Teng and the others have been in the sister-in-law's room. I have asked Lao Qi to take people up the back mountain, these two bear children, don't say a word anywhere! ”

Xia Qingyun said: "Don't worry, go to their house to see if there are any clues left." ”

"I've looked for it, but there's nothing!"

The family is in a hurry.

The mother-in-law and the girls all sent out to find it, and even the mother-in-law and children of the handlebar type Lao Yu also followed.

The old lady stood under the eaves and waved at Xia Qingyun.

"Qingyun girl, come here!"

"Milk, what's the matter?"

"When I was having dinner, I heard the two children muttering about the Zhenyuan Army, have you been looking for it in the barracks?"

"Oops, how did you forget there!" Xia Qingyun hurriedly called Hua Da and ran towards the camp tent of the soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army together.

At night, bonfires were lit outside the tents, around which the soldiers were chatting.

Seeing Xia Qingyun and them coming, the captain of the guard hurriedly caught up.

"Miss Xia, why are you here so late?"

"Brother, have you ever seen two children, so tall, a boy and a girl?" The flowers are big and gesturing.

"Kid?" The captain of the guard scratched his head, "It seems that I saw two of them in the evening, and I still wonder which one in the village it is, it's so late, they should have gone back a long time ago." ”

"Can you go inside and look for it?" Xia Qingyun tiptoed and looked behind him.

"Let's go, I'll take you."

After turning around a few military tents, Hua Da saw a campfire at a glance. Two small figures sat beside the soldiers, listening with relish to their past on the battlefield.

"Hualing! Flower Tree! He shouted.

The two children jumped to their feet, grimaced at each other, stuck out their tongues, and moved in small steps with their necks bent.

"You guys!" Hua raised his hand magnificently, "When is this!" I didn't know what to say when I ran out, everyone in my family was in a hurry! ”

Hua Ling and Hua Shu saw that he was really angry, hid behind Xia Qingyun, and muttered in a low voice: "We wanted to come and see and go back, but we forgot about the story."

Xia Qingyun pulled the two of them in front of him. Yan said solemnly: "This is your fault! On one's mind. In the future, I don't dare to run away without saying a word! ”

Hua Ling and Hua Shu nodded busily.

"Hua Da, the child has been found, don't be angry." Xia Qingyun persuaded: "You take them back first, and I'll talk to the captain of the guard about something." ”

The flowers are big to do. Pull one up in one hand. Reprimanded and walked back.

Their uncles confessed when they were leaving. Children who are disobedient must be managed, and they can't get used to it, so Hua Da is like their teacher.

Xia Qingyun turned his head and asked the captain of the guard. "Your name is Wang Shi, right?"

"Yes, Miss Xia, when the general was leaving, let me obey your arrangement, I was thinking of going to you early tomorrow morning."

Xia Qingyun smiled and nodded, "I've read the roster, and I want to ask you something." ”

"Girl, don't be so polite, you are now my top boss and the head of the cantonment soldiers, your words are orders!"

"Okay, you can help me investigate what profession each soldier did before enlisting in the army, what specialties he had, try to be as detailed as possible. It's best to write it down on paper and give it to me as soon as it's written, it doesn't matter how late it is. ”

"Yes!"

The captain of the guard immediately sent someone to find a few squad leaders, went down according to the instructions, and specially instructed to gather people with special skills, and he went to the account to get paper and pens and prepare for records.

Xia Qingyun saw that he was doing things in an orderly manner, and nodded secretly in praise.

From this day on, the construction of Xiajia Tea Garden and Tunken Reclamation was in full swing and began according to Xia Qingyun's plan.

The progress of quarrying is too slow, so all the materials used in the first phase of the project are purchased from outside.

Xia Qingyun sent people to purchase a large number of stones, wood, various farm tools, seeds and all kinds of daily necessities, and these alone cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver.

Except for the rough mother-in-law and the girl, all the people in the Xia family worked with the soldiers.

Even Xia Yuanhao and Xia Yuanpei, who were the laziest, were urged by milk to get up before dawn every day and go up the mountain with the people who opened up the wasteland. After more than a month, the two of them have become much stronger, and their bad problems have also changed a lot.

The people in the village have been well raised, and they have come to work one after another.

Xia Qingyun stipulated that before going to work this time, he must sign a ten-year long contract, and in the future, Qingyun Tea Garden and Workshop will no longer use short-term work, and those who are willing will press their handprints, and those who are unwilling will be invited back, as for those who have followed Liu San'er to coax, they will not be hired.

At that moment, there was a human being: "It's hard to find such a good owner with lanterns!" We are willing to sign a long-term contract! ”

"That's it! Last year, when I was working in a big family in the town, I was hit by a stone and injured my leg, and they drove me back without saying a word, refusing to even pay the rest of my wages! It's like the Xia family, if you are sick, you can still pay for us to see a doctor! You have to have a conscience! ”

"Miss Xia, we are all willing to sign!"

With the assistance of the captain of the guard, Hua Da and others, Xia Qingyun no longer let his father take people up the mountain, and he and Hua Yun raised tea seedlings in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion every day.

Niang and Qiuyun followed Xia Qingyun to learn to make new teas such as Tieguanyin and Golden Gui.

More than two months have passed, the two tun forts have begun to take shape, high stone walls have been built around them, there are battlements left on the stone wall, and there is an arrow tower built every few hundred meters.

Layers of terraced fields have been opened up on the mountain, and because of the addition of Seven Star Spring water, all the winter wheat planted has emerged green seedlings.

My sister-in-law's house has already been built, but my mother is worried that she is pregnant, and says that the new house is damp, so she will move in again next year, and live in the house first, and everyone will take care of it.

In the tea garden of Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, thousands of new tea tree seedlings have been raised, and they have been transplanted to the newly isolated tea gardens on the mountain.

"Qingyun, how about you take a look at the Tieguanyin I made this time? The noon green is picked at noon, and it is made according to the strong fragrance of the hand. ”

The mother held a handful of tea leaves and showed it to Xia Qingyun.

Xia Qingyun took it and put it in the palm of his hand and commented: "Well, the appearance is not bad just by looking at it." Dragonfly heads, spirals, and frog legs can be regarded as high-quality, let's go to the tea room to brew and taste. ”

Qiuyun ran over, also holding a cloth bag in his hand.

"Sister, and mine, I used a batch of green tea with my mother, compare and see!"

In the tea room, Xia Qingyun waited for the water on the red clay stove to boil, and first scalded the gaiwan and tea cup before putting the tea leaves into the gaiwan. Lift the kettle high and pour in hot water.

After two or three breaths. She scrapes off the foam with the lid of the cup, pours the tea soup through the guò strainer into the fair cup, and then pours the cup from the fair cup.

Qiuyun picked up the teacup, put it under his nose and sniffed. You have to taste the tea in your mouth.

Xia Qingyun hurriedly said, "Wait first." This tea soup is used to moisten the tea and warm the cup. Don't drink it. ”

As she spoke, she picked up the pot again and began to brew the first tea soup.

This time, after waiting for seven or eight breaths. She first handed the lid of the cup to her mother and asked her to smell it.

The mother smiled: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Xia Qingyun poured the tea soup in the bowl into the fair cup and poured it into everyone's tea cup.

Niang and Qiuyun got up and took a sip, and their eyes lit up.

"Sister, this tea is so fragrant! I feel like the whole person is bubbling from the inside out! Qiuyun shouted.

Xia Qingyun also took a sip, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Look at this tea soup is golden, it tastes mellow and sweet, the aroma is as elegant and fragrant as an orchid, and it is not publicized, and the aftertaste is endless." Mother, this tea is really good, it can be regarded as the best Tieguanyin! ”

The mother was so happy when she heard this, "Oh, I'm an apprentice, right?" The tea I made a few days ago was bitter and couldn't get into my mouth, which was a pity for those tea leaves. ”

"Well, I can be an apprentice!" Xia Qingyun affirmed: "However, you still need to practice to become more proficient in your techniques." You'll have to bring apprentices in the future! ”

"Sister, you make a cup I made, how about the product?" Qiu Yun said anxiously.

Xia Qingyun took a new set of tea sets, brewed the Tieguanyin made of Qiuyun, and poured it into the tea cup.

"Oops, mine doesn't have a strong aroma made by my mother." Qiu Yun took a sip and was a little deflated.

"It's okay, don't be discouraged." Xia Qingyun put down the tea cup and said: "Although the aroma of the tea you made is not very strong, it is full of freshness, and it can also be called the best grade!" ”

"Really? Sister, you're not comforting me, are you? Qiuyun pursed his mouth.

"Well, the aroma of Tieguanyin is varied, and the aroma will change if the tea-making technique is slightly different. So even if I make it, the aroma is different from batch to batch. ”

She looked at the bottom of the cup and said, "Next time, when you are kneading and roasting, pay attention to the technique and heat, and don't be in a hurry." Finally, you should also be careful when picking, you see, you can also pick out the tea stems in your tea leaves, which not only affects the taste of the tea soup, but also looks unsightly. ”

Qiu Yun nodded again and again, remembering them one by one.

After tasting a few teas, Qiuyun suddenly remembered something.

"Sister, doesn't it only take a few days for snakes to molt, why haven't they come out yet?"

"Not out yet?" Xia Qingyun was stunned for a moment, "No, are you mistaken, the snake has to shed its skin several times when it grows up, did it come out when we were away." After all this time, is it molting again? ”

Qiuyun shook his head and said: "No, I will go to those tea trees every day to see, they have been sleeping there, not moving, not eating, will they starve to death?" ”

"Don't worry, they have grown up in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion since they hatched, drinking the water of the Seven Stars Spring, and they will never die so easily. Wait and see, maybe it's coming out soon. ”

As they spoke, their feet suddenly trembled slightly.

Xia Qingyun was very familiar with this feeling, and every time there was a big change in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, this kind of tremor would appear.

The three of them looked out from the tea room, and saw a few blue lights in the tea garden reaching into the sky, reflecting the entire tea garden green.

"Is it Qing'er, something happened to them!" Qiu Yun was the first to jump up and run towards the tea plantation.

In the tea garden, Dad and Hua Yun didn't know what was going on, so they stopped what they were doing, looked over, and saw Qiuyun and them running towards the tea trees, so they hurriedly followed.

The dazzling blue light shrouded the nine green snakes, and they couldn't see what was going on inside.

At this time, several tea trees moved from the peak of the goddess also emitted colorful light from the branches and leaves, like neon.

Xue'er roared on the side, as if she had discovered something, and she was so nervous that her back hair exploded. (To be continued......)
